Apologies for the long delay in replying....

I must be missing something basic about ConVirt.

After struggling with ConVirt I decided to use the built in tools in
CentOS 5.2, virt-manager, virt-clone and virt-install and found their
use to be straight forward and easy to understand and use.  Once I
built a basic CentOS 5.2 guest, it was easy to clone, make unique
guests and put into production.  Once I found I could put a soft-link
in the /etc/xen/auto directory to guests that I want booted with the
host, I was able to put a couple of guests into production.

What issues/problems is ConVirt trying to address that are not covered
by Virtual Machine Manager (www.virt-manager.org) tools built into
CentOS?

Thank you,

Brett
